To not visit Orlando right now (or US)

My MIL (who is lovely) really wants to take the family to Orlando and will contribute a small amount to the cost the rest will be covered by us.

I feel a bit torn as I really want to the take the kids, however I saw a post on Instagram that made me think. It was along the lines of would you consider going on holiday to Germany knowing that you are funding the economy of nazi germany (obviously talking about when hitler was in power).

I disagree with what is happening in the US. The loss of bodily autonomy, ICE etc. Therefore does it make me a hypocrite to go on holiday there?

Has anyone actually changed holiday plans or am I thinking about this too deeply?

Well, she's not even taking you when she's not even paying for it. So as you're paying, you decide where you go.

I wouldn't go to the US either. Land of the free my arse.
